New Galleries: Hasbro Transformers Masterpiece MP-02 Soundwave, Laserbeak, Rumble, Ravage, Frenzy and Buzzsaw

The Hasbro version of Masterpiece Soundwave looks to kind and cuddly. However, the Takara Soundwave looks evil and menacing.

red visor makes soundblaster look much cooler, gona get the Takara version

The Soundwave train just keeps on chuggin'! If there's a mold, there's bound to be a redeco, and sure enough... MP13B Soundblaster is born! Partnered with an exclusive Ratbat cassette available nowhere else, this stunning redeco takes the already amazing Soundwave mold and makes it even better by giving you a tall, dark and gruesome badass for your shelf.

He's shipping from retailers now and is in stock in the States at both BBTS and TFSource. Check out the gallery and then go buy him!

this is one of the worst figures i own, the mold is fine but the plastic quality is god awful. I thought Beast Hunters was bad but they feel top notch compared to soundwave and the minions. Also my ravage didnt come with a tail so that didnt help either, for the money i spent on this figure im very disappointed. Not worth it at all if you ask me, to expensive & to cheaply made.

I really like this shade of purple for Ratbat. The head mold is awesome.

plastic quality of them all (sw & tapes) or just the tapes?

sorry to hear that. mine are all takaras, and the quality is great. though i took extra care as i heard ravage was fragile.

I had problems with Laserbeak's wing hinge being too tight and breaking (BBTS replaced it), but that was the only problem I experienced. Megatron Wolf, are your cassettes Hasbro or Takara?

Ryan, how is your Ratbat figure?

Oh, he comes with Safety/Lava-Fall Megatron? I did not know that. Interesting.

I've been leaning towards buying Soundblaster before Takara Soundwave all along, but it'll still be a while before I save up.

And for once, my desire for a KO of this Ratbat isn't about the price as much as that while I want all my cassettes to be the same size (that's kind of the point) and therefore see those enlarged KO cassettes as a total waste, this Dery-accurate Ratbat is the one and only potential exception, since Marvel Ratbat was usually 2-4 times larger than the other cassettes in robot/animal mode. His TF Universe entry also mentions him being able to achieve two different sizes in bat mode; was he the only non-Insecticon to have that ability explicitly stated back in the day? (Overkill doesn't count, as his TFU entry says it happens to him by accident)

In the middle of last week, we posted our galleries of MP-13B Soundblaster and his companion Ratbat, here and a day before that, the Hasbro set which included all the cassettes from MP-15 and 16, which you can see here, and now we round that out with the origin of it all...

Seibertron.com is proud to present our newest galleries: Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-13 Takara Tomy Masterpiece Soundwave and Condor, plus MP-15 Jaguar (Ravage) and Rumble, and MP-16 Frenzy and Buzzsaw!

And massively awesome!!

I still say they sacrificed cartoon accuracy for playability by enlarging Soundwave but not the cassettes. I mean who really wants to put MP cassettes inside a vintage G1 soundwave ?

But on the other hand, it worked just great for my classics shelf. Am I the only one here who bought MP Soundewave and Soundblaster just for the cassettes ? Or do others besides me see the MP cassettes as perfect "classics" scale ? United Rumble/Frenzy are actually bigger than their MP versions and classics Ravage is the same size.
